Stumbled over #IndieAuth again and am once again reminded that I (badly?) chose all my domain names that I like them, but not have them as my "handle" on any platform. I don't want to be @f5n.org - so this is something of a problem for adopting that pattern.

I don't have to tell you that if i share a video and you like it, you can find more similar videos on the creators YouTube channel, right? If you're logged in, YouTube will recommend other videos like it to you in any case.

Designing a service with IndieAuth and email-based login

Ormai da quasi due anni ho ripreso a seguire quotidianamente blog via feed rss e sono quasi tutti attinenti al mondo IT e sparsi per il mondo.
Sto cercando blog italiani da seguire, non importa che siano tecnici, vanno benissimo tutti.
Scrivete su un blog?
State pensando di farlo? Fatelo!
E scrivetemi qui sotto l’indirizzo del vostro sito web.
Grazie!
